My Take: Christians mature by studying the Bible together
Chris Highland writes frequently in The Sentinel. Some time ago his topic was, “BSF: Smuggling Bibles and trafficking in theology.” His negative viewpoint is disappointing. Thousands of men and women and children in Holland and millions around the world have matured in their Christian faith through the studies provided by BSF. The words he chose for his title are current. Loaded with meaning, and harsh. We hear a lot about “smuggling” pentenyl and illegals.

My Take: The Bible is worth keeping
Here is an interesting thing. And puzzling. From time to time, The Sentinel publishes articles by persons who want to convince readers that the Bible is not God’s truth. Why would someone want to do that? The Bible teaches that we are to love God. We are to love all other people, including our enemies and those who hate us. We are to pray for people who wish us evil and do good to people who don’t do good to us. We are to be kind and tender-hearted, forgiving. We are to put others' needs first.
My Take: I will vote for Bill Huizenga
By Ren Broekhuizen Saturday Oct 17, 2020 at 2:00 PM When we marry, we don’t stand only with our spouse. We enter our spouse’s family as well. The same is true with voting. We might vote for an individual candidate. At the same time, we are voting for the political party that candidate represents. When I vote for Bill Huizenga on Nov. 3, I am standing with him and with the political party he represents.
My Take: The way forward for those who choose to differ
By Ren Broekhuizen Wednesday Sep 2, 2020 at 2:00 PM A significant number of Holland citizens is disappointed by the decision our city council members made to amend our city code by adding Chapter 25. In voting the passage by 8-1, our council is indicating that it represents the majority of the city residents. Most likely, that is a misrepresentation. Now that Chapter 25 is city code, what will the Holland residents who disagree with the content and the implications of the new ordinance do?
My Take: We can know the truth
By Ren Broekhuizen Saturday Jan 19, 2019 at 4:55 PM Mr. Bin Lim has written a very courteous and thoughtful article on the questions we all face when we think about God. ("We need to be more open to divine help," Dec. 21).
Letter: Voting my conscience
By Ren Broekhuizen In Marcia Meoli's column, “Unconscionable collaboration” (Sentinel, Dec. 20), she comments twice that our 6,335 Holland residents who voted for Trump should live with “shame.”The dictionary indicates they must live with “a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, having done something wrong.”She feels those who voted for Trump did so with a “cavalier” attitude.
